GeeAyy - Poverty

Listen up!
For everybody out there with no money struggling to survive
This song's for you

Everyday you're praying for a change
You're tired of living life this way (Please God)
You feel like you're in misery you can't explain
You're praying you'll get out someday
Poverty

You just can't take it tired of being broke
Poverty is real best believe it's not a joke
You try to move forward, feel you're about to lose hope
Hard to live positive when your back's against the ropes
Even though you're praying nothing goes your way
Anything you do never makes it go away
You work a nine to five on a job underpaid
Bill collectors on the phone always calling every day
You got to keep moving got to stay strong
Got to keep your head up know that you belong
Don't listen to the haters they don't know what's going on
They don't know the misery you feel you wish it was gone
Don't know if you can make it worried deep inside
Need another car can't afford another ride
Your look is so bad that it makes you want to cry
You cannot escape the pain and it makes you wonder why

Everyday you're praying for a change
You're tired of living life this way (Please God)
You feel like you're in misery you can't explain
You're praying you'll get out someday
Poverty

The world that you live in tries to bring you down
All you do is wish you could turn it all around
It's hard to get ahead living in a small town
You cannot produce a smile all you can do is frown
Everyday you're wishing for the curse to break
You try to take control 'cause it's all that you can take
You won't a good life can't afford no mistakes
Got to make the right decisions with the choices that you make
You know you're not dreaming it's like a nightmare
This world is really cruel think they never treat you fair
You're living hand-to-mouth, but nobody seems to care
Doing all that you can do to buy the clothes that you wear
You got to do something gotta ease the pain
Poverty has got you down driving you insane
The sun never shines all it ever does is rain
Yeah, you got nothing to lose and you've got a lot to gain

Everyday you're praying for a change
You're tired of living life this way (Please God)
You feel like you're in misery you can't explain
You're praying you'll get out someday
Poverty

All you want to do is live a good life
Get rid of all the stress, so you can fall asleep at night
No matter how you try, nothing's ever going right
Going down with the count, but you can't give up the fight
You're tired of always losing trying to understand
All your money's gone and you're doing all you can
Bills are piling up taking money from your hand
Tired of dealing with the pressure and it's all that you can stand
You hope your life is changing hope it won't be long
Through all the pain you've lived life has really made you strong
Every day's a struggle trying to stay where you belong
Trying to really make a difference do it before your life is gone
You don't know where you're going tired of where you've been
It's been a hard life and it's hard to comprehend
It is a true story because these words are not pretend
Poverty will knock you down beat you time and time again

Everyday you're praying for a change
You're tired of living life this way (Please God)
You feel like you're in misery you can't explain
You're praying you'll get out someday
Poverty

I know it's hard
You wake up everyday not knowing how the bills are going to get paid
Just be strong and believe
That someday everything will change
I'm praying for you
